I think spring to me is a feeling…filling me from head to feet…when walking in my forest late in the evening. In the green flow of the fragrant beeches, listening to the clear melodies of the thrush in the canopy and the little strong voiced wren in the dark shrubbery below. Standing in the clearing the soft fragrance of hackberry fills the air, and I just breathe – Spring.
Everything is near and still far away…and I…am here, in the moment, in my self, in nature. Reborn.

So nice. Nydelige bilder, og nydelig vårlys.
ljuset är här!
Spring .. beautiful spring, far too short. Our cherry tree has dropped all it’s blossoms already .. so sad. Lovely post,A-C!
🙂
Thanks you Ann Christine as you bring us to ”here” as we enjoy your moment.
Thank you.
Vackert, både text och bild. Du skapar en fin känsla med denna post:)
Tack så mycket för en fin kommentar!
The fragrance of it all sounds very heady, love that second shot.
Thank you!
Fina bilder men det har du å andra sidan alltid ! … Tänkvärd och mycket fin text … // Maria 🙂
Våren är härlig. Här har den varit så fantastiskt vacker detta år och jag har tagit mig tid att gå upp tidigt och njuta och vandra sent för att lyssna och dofta.
Evenings bring Spring joys too don’t they Ann Christine … with the subtle dappled light and the feeling the day is closing gently without that early darkness of winter it is wonderful .. as your description so clearly indicates .
Love the elegance of the forest in the second photo .
Lovely comment, Poppy. The stillness in the evening and as you say, the dappled light…it’s a joy walking there.
The second photo is stunning. We don’t have woods like that over in Australia. Those ones are magical with some much life springing up.
I’m glad you can enjoy it too! In spring I could simply live in this forest – don’t want to go inside.
Magical pics and words, Ann-Christine. 🙂
Mmm, thank you, Sylvia! Have a great Sunday!
so tender and touching AnnChristine, you transport me to the woods with your words and images, thank you
I’m glad I managed to do that!
I love how you introduced the photos. And very stunning photos they are too. I liked the first one best – the yellow and green both equally stand out together in harmony. It’s approaching winter here in Australia, getting cold. So your photos warmed my heart a little 🙂
I’m glad they did! The same it is for me when it’s growing colder here – your reports from the other side of the Earth is needed to cheer me up!
Love the newness and light captured in your photos.
I’m glad you are also a ”light” person!
I am. 🙂
Beautiful post, both words and photos!
Thank you so much, Amy!
very beautiful shots, full of life and sunlight…
Thank you – yes, light is important. I think I’m rather obsessed with it…
wonderful thoughts Leya
Thank you! Your comment was found no – lost in the bin!
Oh dear…I don’t like bins.
😦

The usual morning (for me) dose of beauty …
Well…glad I could be of help with that…!
And I’m glad you weren’t too tired. [grin]
He, he…but Now I am…going to bed. Had a happy time by the computer for once…having finished my correcting of national tests …for today. Sleep tight, dear!
Beautiful words….illustrated with the gorgeous photos of your evening woods. Perfect spring 🙂
😉 Thank you! Have a great Sunday!
så fint sagt… och så magiska bilder!
så fint sagt… och så magiska bilder!
Roligt att du tycker om det! Jag funderade ett bra tag på vad jag egentligen känner – och det blev det här.
Love your words!
Thank you, Sue!
